Hello!

I usually setup custom command macros in palettes. I have a problem with the syntax when it's time to enter a file path. Let's assume the file name is drawing1.dwg and it's in c:\ folder. If I enter c:\drawing1.dwg in the command macro and I execute it, I get

at the command line which I assume it is because autocad interprets \ as waiting for user input.

Any ideas?
